Creates a structure element

Syntax

PSDMI (DMI)

Argument       Data Type      Access    Description
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DMI            Integer        Read      Data mapping index
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description

PSDMI sets the data mapping index value.  Depending on the current edit mode, this function either inserts the new structure element directly after the element indicated by the pointer or replaces the element indicated by the pointer.  The pointer then points to the new set data mapping index element. 

During structure traversal, Digital PHIGS sets the current data mapping index entry in the PHIGS traversal state list to the specified value.  Digital PHIGS uses this value when displaying subsequent area primitives.  If the specified value is not available, Digital PHIGS uses the value 1. 

If Digital PHIGS is in immediate mode, it performs this function immediately, but the function does not create a structure element. 

Digital PHIGS Version 3.1 does not support this function.
